srnoirrcnuox forming part or Letters Patent No. 563,927, dated July 14 1896. Application and se amta Tenses, Serial no. 663,036. (Nomodeld Be it known that I, ROBERT HonMEs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canyoncity, in the county of Fremont and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bicycle Supports and Locks; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable. others skilled in the art to which it appertains to makeand use the same. A

This invention relates to certain new and useful i'mprovenientsin bicycle supports and locks designed to be attached to any bicycle and to support the same when at rest, and

, which will be simple, cheap, and durable.

The device is supported from the frame of the machine and so constructed that'when unlocked the key cannot be taken out without looking it again. The device is constructed to be folded against the frame, where it will be out of the'm'ay, and is easily placed in operative position when desired.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel 'features thereof will be specifically defined I by the appended claims.

The invention in this instance resides in the peculiar combinations and the construction, arrangement, and'adaptation of parts,

. all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly set forth in the claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part I of this specification, and in which-.

upper end of which is pivotallyconneeted in any suitable manner the clamp-ring D, which is designed to fit over the frame of the bicycle, so as to support the device and prevent 'its loss and yet allow of the necessary movements of the device, as will be readily understood. From the upper portion of this rod or; arm project the ears or lugs E, between which is pivotally held in any suitable mannor the hasp F of the lock. The lock is contained within a socket G in the rod or arm, as

shown, and'the free end of the hasp is designed to' be entered in a hole (I in the side of the socket, as shown.

be taken out until the hasp is again locked.

The rod or arm 0 has an extension I, which may be adj ustably held therein or thereto in any suitable manner, and this extension carries, a hook J, adapted to be engaged over the frame of the bicycle to hold it up out of the way when riding and to be thrown down to I engage the ground to supportthe bicycle when at rest. It may be adjusted to give the machine more or less inclination from a vertical,

as may be required.

The haspis designedto be engaged over the the or rim of the wheel when it is desired to lock the same. The bicycle will lean upon and be supported by the arm, and when riding the parts can be held against the frame,

Modifications in detail may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the'inycntion or sacrificing any of its advantages.

What is claimed as new isl. The combination with the rod providedgo with means for its attachment to a bicycleframe to support the machine when at rest and the lock therein, of the clamp-ring at one end of the rod, and a hasp pivoted on said rod and adapted to enter said rod to engage the 9 5 bolt of the lock, substantially as specified.

2. The combination with the rod provided with means for its attachment to a bicycle:

A key II is employed for unlocking and locking the hasp, and the frame to support the machine when at rest' and the lock therein, of the clamp at one end rod of said rod, the hook at the opposite end,and .a hasp pivoted on said rod, as set fhrth. l
